This manuscript reports the synthesis and fluorescent chemosensor property of a Schiff base derivative, 4-[(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl) methylideneamino]benzoic acid (H2L). The fluorescence spectrum shows that H2L exhibits a highly selective and sensitive recognition for Al3+ ions in N,N′-dimethylformamide/water (DMF/H2O, 1/1, v/v). The fluorescence titration experiments and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI–MS) show that H2L and Al3+ ions form a 1:1 complex. 1H NMR titration results show that H2L coordinates to Al3+ ions with carboxylate, hydroxyl groups, and imine groups and the probable sensing mechanism may be the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process.

Abstract This article aimed at the synthesis and molecular docking assessment of new diimine Schiff base ligand, namely 2-((E)-(2-((Z)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxyvinyl)hydrazono) methyl)-6-methoxyphenol (methoxy-diim), via the condensation of 1-(4-chloro-phenyl)-2-hydrazino-ethenol compound with 2-((E)-(2-((Z)-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxy vinyl) hydrazono)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol in acetic acid as well as the preparation of new binuclear complexes of Co(ii), Ni(ii), Cu(ii), and Zn(ii). The following synthesized complexes were prepared in a ratio of 2:1 (metal/ligand). The 1H-NMR, UV-Vis, and FTIR spectroscopic data; molar conductivity measurements; and microanalytical, XRD, TGA/DTG, and biological studies were carried out to determine the molecular structure of these complexes. According to the spectroscopic analysis, the two central metal ions were coordinated with the diamine ligand via the nitrogen of the hydrazine and oxygen of the hydroxyl groups for the first metal ions and via the nitrogen of the hydrazine and oxygen of the phenol group for the second metal ions. Molecular docking for the free ligand was carried out against the breast cancer 3hb5-oxidoreductase and the 4o1v-protein binding kidney cancer and COVID-19 protease, and good results were obtained.

Heteroleptic [Cu(BIPHEP)(N^N)][PF6] complexes (BIPHEP = 1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diylbis(diphenylphosphane)), in which N^N is 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), 6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine (6-Mebpy), 6-ethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (6-Etbpy), or 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5,5′-Me2bpy), have been synthesized and characterized using multinuclear NMR spectroscopies and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The single crystal structures of [Cu(BIPHEP)(bpy)][PF6]∙CH2Cl2, [Cu(BIPHEP)(5,5′-Me2bpy)][PF6]∙CH2Cl2, [Cu(BIPHEP)(6-Mebpy)][PF6]∙Et2O∙0.5H2O and [Cu(BIPHEP)(6-Etbpy)][PF6] confirm distorted tetrahedral {Cu(P^P)(N^N)} coordination environments. Each compound shows a quasi-reversible Cu+/Cu2+ process. In deaerated solution, the compounds are weak emitters. Powdered samples are yellow emitters (λemmax in the range 558–583 nm) and [Cu(BIPHEP)(5,5′-Me2bpy)][PF6] exhibits the highest photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY = 14%). On cooling to 77 K (frozen 2-methyloxolane), the emission maxima are red-shifted and the excited state lifetimes increase from τ1/2 < 8 μs, to τ1/2 values of up to 53 μs, consistent with the compounds with N^N = 6-Mebpy, 6-Etbpy and 5,5′-Me2bpy exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).
